Word Worship DTS Vision
God is the living water where we are planted in order to live a fruitful and holy life. The fruits we bear are not meant to be kept to ourselves but to be given away to serve others and give glory back to God. DTS is a time to grow deeply rooted in God through studying His Word, laying our lives down in worship, and seeking to know His heart through prayer and intercession. Come and build a firm foundation that will set you for life to bring impact and influence this generation and next generations.
Matthew 7:24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”
John 7:38 “Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’”
Understanding the Lecture Phase
The first 12 weeks of DTS are spent living in community, worshipping, praying, serving, and studying God’s character. Each week you will soak in teachings from different speakers. Our DTS focus will allow you to develop a god-centred lifestyle, delve more in the Bible, worship lifestyle, cultivate skills, your passion and calling. Not only will you be poured into, but you will have a chance to bring the hope of Jesus through creativity, prayer, worship, and outreach in the local neighbourhood.
Key Topics in the Lecture Phase
Throughout the lecture phase, you will delve into various subjects that form a foundation in your spiritual growth and understanding. One of the main topics is hearing God’s voice. This fundamental teaching will cultivate a deep personal relationship with God, helping you to discern His guidance throughout your lives. Understanding one's identity in Christ is another pivotal topic, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose that can greatly impact how you view yourself and your place in the world.
Additionally, exploring the nature of God allows you to comprehend His character, leading to deeper worship and reverence. The emphasis on missions will expands your perspectives on serving others and understanding different cultures which would be essential for the outreach phase that follows. Lastly, the spiritual growth discussions through small group, one-on-ones and daily conversations will lay the groundwork for applying what you have learnt in practical ways, which in turn will encourage a fuller and holistic growth.
Outreach Phase: Putting Faith, Hope & Love into Action
After the enriching lecture phase, students transition into the outreach phase, which lasts between 8 to 12 weeks. This critical time is dedicated to cross-cultural missions, where all the teachings and experiences are put into action. Here, students engage directly with communities, sharing the gospel and serving the needy.
Following the enriching lecture phase, you will take a 2-months journey being God’s hands and feet to the nations during the outreach phase. The love of God will ignite the flame in your heart to reach the lost, heal the sick, and see His power released. All outreaches have 3 components: evangelism, practical ministry and partnership with local churches and ministries. You will embark on an unforgettable adventure working with followers of Jesus who make God’s name known to every lost soul. Outreach is an exciting time to be Christ’s ambassadors, meeting those caught in darkness, and bringing them to the feet of Jesus. We are partnering with God to impact society with the revelation of His reckless love.
In conclusion, DTS offers a comprehensive program with its two phases—the lecture and outreach—supporting you in your quest for spiritual growth and deepening your relationship with God. Whether through learning or actively serving, everyone will come away with a refreshed and transformed perspective of faith, equipping you for a life dedicated to making a positive difference in their communities - be it in missions or the marketplace.
